Protections

• The state's constitution protects abortion.
• State law protects abortion.

Bans

• Under current state law, abortion is legal to provide at any stage of pregnancy.

Barriers

• The state allows multiple types of healthcare professionals, not just doctors, to provide abortions, such as physician assistants, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, or other qualified medical professionals. The state may limit which types of providers can provide abortions and under what circumstances, including the abortion method or gestational age.

Minors

• State law requires healthcare professionals inside the state to meet certain requirements before providing an abortion to minors below the age of 18.
• Before providing an abortion to a minor inside the state, the state requires an abortion provider to notify their parent or guardian.
• Before providing an abortion to a minor inside the state, the state requires an abortion provider to notify their parent or guardian, but the provider can waive this notification if they believe the minor is able to consent to the abortion.

Telehealth

• The state allows healthcare professionals inside the state to provide medication abortion through telehealth.

Privacy

• The state has laws to help keep healthcare data private, including laws that prohibit the collection, sharing, and selling of healthcare information.

Insurance

• The state requires private health insurance plans regulated by the state to cover abortion. These requirements do not apply to self-insured plans regulated by the federal government.
• Under state policy, Medicaid funds from the state may pay for all or most "medically necessary" abortions, not just abortions that meet the minimum federal requirements (which cover cases of rape, incest, or when the pregnant person's life is endangered).
